Cockroaches are those unwelcome house guests that nobody wants, if you have them you need a fumigation against cockroaches in Panama. They love to steal crumbs from leftover food and soon become a problem if you see just one. The real reason for this is that they are prolific breeders, are very difficult to get rid of, and carry a multitude of diseases.
Harmful to your health
While a cockroach infestation is a nuisance, they also trigger allergies and spread bacteria and diseases. You could risk the spread of salmonella and gastroenteritis if you don’t control your cockroach infestation fast enough. The bacteria that cause these illnesses are carried on the legs and bodies of cockroaches, and easily deposited on food and utensils. Cockroaches can also trigger asthma attacks in children and the elderly. These allergic reactions are caused by the skin that these insects shed.
In Panama, we deal with cockroaches quite lot, especially German cockroaches. These are pernicious, resilient, and resourceful pests that can gain access to some of the most secure structures.
Variety Of Methods to Kill Cockroaches
We use a variety of methods to kill cockroaches instantly. These include traps, pesticides, natural remedies, and gels. Many of these methods are ineffective. Perhaps the most sensible method to use is to call in pest control experts to assist.
1. Cockroach Traps.
How can I trap cockroaches effectively?
We use cockroach traps throughout Panama. We use food in our traps to great effect in and around your surroundings. The food is combined with hydramethylnon, a poisonous substance. Cockroaches will find their way to the food and poison combination.
Would this be the best way to combat them?
Trapping cockroaches might seem a great idea. The problem is trapping them safely if you have young children or pets. You don’t want to risk nasty accidents where poison gets into pet food or affects the air children breathe.
Hydramethylnon could enter into the environment in which it is used via waste streams. It is released into the atmosphere, and it could exist in the vapour and particle phases in the air. Do not use this form of cockroach extermination near food sources.
2. Roach Motels.
Can I use a roach motel to get rid of cockroaches?
Yes! Roach motels are a great way to trap roaches without using chemicals and poisonous substances. Roach motels use adhesive in their traps instead of toxins and poisons. The roach motel lures roaches into a little container.
This then traps them using a sticky substance (glue). Because the insects are unable to escape, they eventually die. This is a chemical-free method of getting rid of cockroaches, and therefore safer that option 1.
Are Roach Motels effective?
This method can be used when fighting a cockroach infestation, but it is far more effective to use a professional pest control expert to assist with cockroach problems. Professionals use expert assessments to tackle the problem effectively, whereas roach motels are a sporadic and temporary fix that could never destroy a whole colony.
3. Cockroach Gel.
How does cockroach gel work?
Cockroach gel attracts and kills roaches that try to enter your premises. They are enticed into eating the gel bait, which contains insecticide that kills them.
4. Boric Acid.
How does boric acid work?
When cockroaches are in contact with Boric powder, it will cling to their bodies. As roaches clean themselves, they ingest the acid, which acts as an effective insecticide.
Hide the Boric Acid in spots where ad adult cockroach might hide. These include hard-to-reach spots such as behind appliances, behind furniture, and under piles of books and papers.
Is boric acid a good way to get rid of cockroaches?
We use boric acid in cockroach control. It is also effective in controlling other pests such as rodents and ants. You should not use any poisonous substances, including boric acid, if you have pets and children. It is far wiser to use professional methods to rid your environment of pests.
